Cafe Del Rio

This place is straight-​up weird. The décor is Six Flags-​esque, with a talking statue at the entrance. The restaurant’s staff is excessive, and everyone seems to hate his or her life. The food is undercooked. The only thing I absolutely loved is the habanero-​ranch salsa. It’s different and not the «[t]rue Tex-​Mex» that it claims to be; nevertheless, it’s fantastic. That being said, the rest of the restaurant is neither special nor good.

Love this place! Food and service are both very good! Prices are reasonable and we love the atmosphere. To the people that posted about the bad food and service, not sure where you went. If you go on the weekends anywhere in the area you can expect to wait. This is one of our favorite places!

Mediocre but tasty Mexican food. excellent service.

This place is not very good. I went there a while ago with a friend, and it was nearly empty. It still took about 20 minutes for a server to care. Many servers walked by our table, but no one acknowledged is until later… I ordered two taquitos, one with beef and one with chicken. The queso was not good, and had a weird taste. Both taquitos were burned, to the point where they meat was hard… Rice and beans were average. Not going back!

The wait every time we come here is ridiculous and what make if worst is when you can see empty tables and you still wait 20+ mins to get one! They always are short staffed. The salt and pepper and they else on the table needs to clean cleaned better. On the other hand after the long wait and the dirty table the food is good, not great but good. Most likely last time I will bring the family here. Clean up the place, hire people, make your salsa stop buying it then you might can call you place a TexMex restaurant.

Not very impressed. This one is definitely in my lower tier of Tex Mex restaurants. The ceviche lacked taste, the salsa for the chips tasted like it came out of a can, and the tacos al carbon had so much sticky cheese all over it, I couldn’t taste anything else. I will say the place is decorated nicely.

Service was GREAT! Their portions are huge, so watch what you order! Food was delicious and hot. I love their potatoes. So yummy!!! We will definitely be back!

We just happened to drive by and decided to check it out. We went during the lunch rush hour, and it wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be. They have a huge menu, and they even have lunch specials. We started off with the spicy queso, and if you like spicy, the queso was really good. Their tortillas were freshly made. I ordered the lunch combo of the taco salad and chicken tortilla soup. The soup was really good with a ton of flavor. The ground beef on the salad was so good. Someone ordered fajitas, and he said it was good. Another person ordered the beef enchiladas, and they looked pretty good. Prices were decent, so I’ll come back when I’m in the area.
Service was pretty good, and there is plenty of parking.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever given a restaurant a 5 star rating. I just can’t think of anything that wasn’t great. It was my first visit here and I had the cheese enchilada, tamale, crispy beef taco, rice, and refried beans. They were all perfect. I will definitely be coming back and bringing my wife. This without a doubt is some of the best Tex-​Mex I have ever had.

Amazing place! Highly recommend and we’ll certainly be back for sure!
Great inviting warm ambience, with the colors and décor reminiscent of Mexico. Service was great. The food was just outstanding and a probably the best we’ve had around here! And we’ve eaten in a lot of Mexican and Tex-​Mex places! It was fresh, delicious, portions were perfect, and overall very satisfying.
Perfect for families and just about anytime! We loved it and can’t wait to be back, which will most likely be very very soon

We go here often. They have a happy hour which includes a nacho bar when you buy a drink Very good staff.

I was glad we heard about this place. We had Del Rio fajitas for two that came with ribs, shrimp, chicken and beef. It fed 3 and we still had a to go box. A must try is the ranch haberno sauce that comes with the free chips and salsa. We will definitely be back. The refried beans here had great flavor. This place is true TexMex.

This place is very good family friendly place. They have fun colorful surroundings that will bright up your visit there. First time going and loved it!!!

Pick up lunch to take to work. The chicken enchiladas are the bomb love them. They were stuffed with chicken also came with rice and charro beans. Also gave me chips and salsa. Great delicious food.

Right here you’ll find some real good TexMex. The Habanero Ranch dip served with the other two salsas is off the chain! People are friendly and prompt. The food is really good and plentt of it. If you want extra special service with a hussle you need to ask for Leslie to serve you. This lady is a doll, professional and serious business. She will most definitely take care of you! I’ll wait a hour just to sit in Leslie’s section. Go see her today.

Visited here with my Mom on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch (2:30PM).
This place is huge. Lighting was very welcoming. Our waiter was outstanding. The food was freaking awesome.
Bathroom was clean, over all restaurant was relatively clean.
They have a counter full of baked goods. We didn’t check it out because we were stuffed but I will definitely hit that up next time.
We will definitely go back.

I have always wanted to eat at this building with a lot of color. I finally went in. When I first walked in, I was intrigued at the decorations. The decorations look like they are from the dollar store, but hey, I love the dollar store, so I was pleased.
The food was great, and plentiful. The server was goofy, but made sure the food and drinks were served in a timely manner.
A rating of 3 is good for me. I have had better, but was not dissatisfied.

This visit was one of my best visits to this place. I was with a group of five me included. When we walked in the waiter told us there would be a 15min wait but as we looked around there were some empty tables about the same time Dalon a waiter walks up and says that he can seat us at a table booth and he could add chairs if need be so we sat. Dalon was a excellent waiter he was perfect he did a excellent job waiting on us. I made sure that I gave him a very good tip and by the way the food was outstanding

This restaurant was reviewed shortly after it opened and we were disappointed. Went back today to see if anything had changed and found it remarkably difference. We were seated promptly and almost in the same location as our first visit. The service this time was outstanding. We ordered tea and the tea was very good. Then came some chips and three different dips. Salsa that a little hot, a more milder salsa and a mayo based dip. Each one was very good. That was followed by an avocado dip that was excellent. The chips are little on the thick side however many people like that as opposed to the very thin chips.
Ordered the dinner portion of the fajitas and split the meat one chicken and one half beef. They came out sizzling hot a, along with refried beans, rice and tortillas. The meat lay on a bed of onions and peppers and this meal was excellent. A vast change from the first time we dined at this restaurant.
Service continued to be great and not once were our tea glasses below half full. In addition we had numerous management people to come around and check on, not just out table but others to see if the meal was okay. We did not notice one complaint from any of the tables and we have concluded this restaurant has made a complete turnaround in food and service in the past few weeks, at least for us. This is a place you can bring guest and expect to get a very good meal with very good service.
The rest rooms were spotless. Parking is easy as there are many spaces around the building. There is music on Friday evenings. The patio area, while indoors, had large garage doors that open to bring in the outside temperatures. Kind of neat. There is free soft serve ice cream as you leave. We found all of the staff from the time we entered until the time we left to be very friendly. The theme of the restaurant is one of the nicest Mexican themes in the area.
This restaurant deserves five stars based on today’s visit.

Well, we walked in and about 6:45 and there were 15 people ahead of us on a wait. I could visually see from the hostess stand 6 tables that were empty and already bussed, so I’m guessing they are having a server shortage. Up front is a ice cream machine so immediately I was thinking it was a Posados knock off, but the décor is more that of a Panchos.
After 15 minutes we sere seated. We started with queso with taco meat in it. It had a good amount of heat. I ordered the El Matador it had a cheese enchilada, puff taco, and chicken flauta. The flautas and puff taco were very greasy. The cheese enchilada was good, though. My husband had an order of beef flautas and could only eat one because of all the grease.
The quality of food is just so, so. I would take your money and your taste buds to Mi Cocina across the street or a little further north to Glorias.
